Profit is Prn6t.


Chicago Herald The most inveterate
scalper that ever operated IN the Chicago
grain market is Millionaire Hutchinson.
A scalper, the uninitiated should be told
is trader who jumps in and out with
rapid deals, satisfied with small profits
and making as few losses as possible.
Most operators want to double their
money and many stand for long profits.
Not so with Hutch. His orders to his
brokers is to close out us soon as they
can allow a profit to his credit.
What do you mean by profit, Mr..
Hutchinsons" inquired q young broker
the other day, on receiving his first order
from the scalper.
"Great heavens!" was the rejoinder,
'''haven't you been here long enough to
know what a profit is?" "Yes, l know
what profit is. but l don't know. what
you consider a satisfactory profit" "A
profit" Hutch then explained, sis a

how small" The broker said he had
been trading on Hutchinsons account
for seventeen successive days, filing
that time he had not made q loss Some
times his profits were only sufficient to
pay commissions and dollar or two
over but the old man was always satisfied.

he soon announced himself as Baron
Krudencr, the Russian minister. He had
come over from Washington to look into
the new enterprise. The result of it all
was that Machinist Winans made loco
motive and pile driver for the Gar, and
the son went across the sea to show the
Russians how to work the new machines.
When this young mechanic came back
he was several times a millionaire, and
in a short time all the members of the
family were very wealthy. This Is the
wealth that now enables Thomas Winans
to lease the largest game preserves in
Great Britain, and Ross Winans to own
mansions in both hemispheres.
Peter Cooper's engine was not per-
manent success, and most of the cars
had to be drawn by horses. In December,
1881, when the road was opened to Fred
erick there was a grand procession of
cars drawn by caparisoned horses, with
the governor and his suite in the front
car. 1t was big sight for tho people.

The Limit of Life.
From tho Cosmopolitan

From tho Cosmopolitan.
It would appear in fact as though
five score years were the natural or
normal limit OF human life; and that
when men die many years before that
age is attained, the fault, apart from
malignant disease or accident, has
lain with themselves. Underlying the
old proverb, ''every man is a fool or
q physician at forty" there is the i'm
portant truth that it is in every
mans power, If he is wise, to recognize
early in life like Cornaro) the require
ments OF his own constitution, and
the means by which all such stores of
vitality as it may possess may be
utilized. An able physician said to
me a short time ago: In all my ex-
perience have never known but one
man who really died natural DEATH"
and he went on to explain that a
man can only be said to die a natural
death when he dies all at once, when
the organs on which circulation, res
piration, and nutrition depend, all
fail at about the same time; whereas
one man dies because circulation fails,
another because the respiratory Or
gans gave out, and yet another be-
cause stomach, liver. kidneys, or
bowels become unequal to their work.
In fine, the secret oflongevitv lies in the
attainment of q natural life to be
brought to an end by a natural death;
and nearly every man, did he bnt give
his vital powers fair chances, would
find that, like
The wonderful one-hoss shay,
He was built in such a logical way

the lady was concerned his suit was
successful, too, but the Mayor Loom

not only objected to the union but
prevented it. This Get back put the
spur to Walters pride and his energy.
and he forthwith determined to be

and was soon elected mayor. Mayor

Controller Trenholm in his search for in.
formation which will make his Forthcoming
report interesting and valuable has ionnd

himself of q recent circular which the
controller has sent to many banks to say
so. The controller has recently sent out
a circular to bank officials in which he
says: Having in course OF preparation

The Irish Land League Proclaimed.

Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, an

the Irish National league. He said the
league was proclaimed as dangerous as.
ISOLATION under section of the crime act

thus taken the power conferred upon them
by that statute to prohibit and suppress
the league Continuing. Balfour said:
There are two snbheads OF the sixth sec.

A voice-1t's lie. No branch of the
league is engaged in such work.
Section asked whether the sole ground
Tor the proclamation was that the league
was simply an association tending to in.
terfere with the law. Balfour in reply
read the terms OF the proclamation.
Replying further to Mr.. Sexton Mr..
Baldwin said that until the viceroy issued
